Only 98% game time, not sure what was wrong with him today.

I’ve gambled a couple of times and I’ve been very lucky it hasn’t turned out badly, but I’d be the first to put my hand up and take ownership of being greedy if I did take the risk and it bombed. However, having had 4 captain scores under 95 this season (two in the 60-75 range), I’m unlikely to be taking unnecessary risks.

Tom de Koning looking like he’s struggling, not great as I was hoping McKay would be able to get a few goals today like the last time he played north.

In the other game, Luke Ryan has done a great job the last quarter and a half to get up to something respectable.
Risk/Reward is always the main mantra spoken of, maybe I’m speaking from personal bias, but after rolling the dice 2 of the last 4 weeks on scores of 106 and 108 to cop a worse score. I’d be grateful for anything in triple figures atm! Normally its 120/125 pts depending on the round! But in the current environment need to adjust goals to the circumstances I’d reckon.
My most incisive comment on the Freo/Melb game is that Josh Treacy, Luke Jackson and Libba all appear to have the same tattoo consultant.
Watch the same cartoons probably?

I think if people readjusted their acceptable captain scores to 105-110 we’d have a lot less complaining.

Unfortunately we’ve come off the back of seasons where 125+ for popular picks was a regular thing. Would love to see what the amount of 150+ scores has been compared to other years as I think we are definitely down on them this season. Or perhaps the spread for those types of scores has been wider.
